R for sportiness

Last year at the Essen Motor Show Volkswagen debuted its R Line range for the Volkswagen Golf, Touran, Passat and Touareg. From this year's show onward the Tiguan can be beefed up with its own R Line package.

The R badge was initially meant only for the VW high-performance cars (Golf R32, Passat R36), but seeing as car-tuning is all the rage these days and how the Audi S line is so succesful Volkswagen has followed suit. The R Line packages allow customers to adorn their VW's with a sporty interior and exterior, independanly from what engine you have under the hood.

Official information has not been released yet, so stay tuned for the Essen press day on Friday for more.

Even in the R line accessoires they do not offer a proper typical VW brand front chrome grille. Quite mysterious... it seems that the Tiguan design was frozen before the new Passat and before the facelifted Golf, Polo, Touran an Touareg. They all have chrome grille and some of them led rear lights. So I suppose a facelift for the new "not yet available" Tiguan isn't far away then...

to me white still seems rather tacky 80's especially on bodykitted cars Tickford Lagonda anyone? Might be popular in UAE but I expect their tastes have moved on too. In black though.... now that's a different story
